Seeds Underground: Keeping Faith Through the Silent Season
Today I open with a prayer before sharing something that's really on my heart: the garden analogy. I talk about how, when you're working so hard on your business and it feels like nothing's happening, that doesn't mean nothing is happening — it's like seeds underground, quietly growing before they break through the surface. I bring in some biblical examples from Abraham, Esther, Joseph, David to remind you that waiting for a breakthrough while staying faithful puts you in good company. I also get personal and share my own journey through 53 years of valley-and-mountaintop cycles, including a recent months-long wait for career clarity that finally hits me out of nowhere on a drive through Provence. I unpack the difference between "commanding" a miracle — co-creating with God — versus "demanding" one, and I encourage you to keep showing up with joy and faith even when you can't see results yet. I wrap up reminding you that your good, your clients, and your breakthrough are on the way.
- The garden analogy for business breakthroughs — I reframe the frustrating "nothing's happening" feeling in business as seeds germinating underground rather than failure, offering listeners a mindset shift for their own slow seasons.
- Personal vulnerability from Provence — I share a real, unfiltered account of a months-long wait for career clarity (and the exact moment it finally arrived on a drive through the French countryside), giving listeners an intimate look at her own doubt, faith, and eventual breakthrough.
- A practical distinction between "command" and "demand" — I unpack what it actually means to co-create with the divine versus forcing outcomes.
